Build-Your-Own Haystacks

• Fritos (or any other off-brand corn chips, crushed tortilla chips also work as a stand-in)
• Lettuce, shredded or finely chopped
• Tomatoes, chopped (I also sometimes substitute canned tomatoes if I’ve gotten a great deal on them.)
• Taco Meat (brown ground beef with chopped onions and taco seasoning) mixed with cooked pinto beans
• Shredded cheese (we typically use cheddar)
• Salsa
• Canned black olives (sliced or chopped), optional
• Sour cream, optional
• Guacamole (or chopped avocado), optional

Set out haystack toppings (we usually keep the taco meat in a crock pot or saucepan on the stove so it stays warm) and let everyone layer their own toppings on their individual plates in the order they prefer. Enjoy!
